Choosing a Provider

Help is just one phone call away through our Early Learning Child Care Resource and Referral program, part of the statewide Early Learning Child Care Resource and Referral Network funded by the Office of Early Learning.

Local Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies offer free information and referral services to all families seeking quality early care and school readiness programs and out of school time solutions. CCR&R is an information service which does not license, endorse, nor recommend any type of early care and education provider over another. It is suggested that parents visit several programs to determine which one best serves the needs of their family. Parents are encouraged to visit potential child care providers before deciding where to enroll their child.

The CCR&R Network maintains the only comprehensive, statewide database of child care, school readiness and school age programs and service providers.

Child Care Resource and Referral's trained parent counselors can identify area centers, family child care homes, after school programs, Head Start programs, preschools, faith-based programs and summer camps that meet the needs of both parent and child. Referrals can be provided based on many different criteria including: teacher credentials, location, ages, special programs, hours of operation and availability through a database of information. Because the information is updated regularly, the most current information is made available to parents.

The Early Learning Coalition of Brevard administers multiple early learning programs including School Readiness (subsidized) child care; Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK), Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R), Florida First Start and Inclusion. In addition, the Coalition contracts with many child care providers, schools and pre-schools to provide quality services. The Coalition works to ensure all centers have quality learning environments and provides training and professional development for teachers.
